Director Statement

Originally inspired by my newborn son, I wrote the story "Where Has Sam's Shadow Gone?" when he was born. The story was written but it took me 14 years to finally get to work on the movie. In the last 3 years, my short movies garnered much attention and awards which I sure wasnt expecting. I'm glad that the seed was planted long ago and that my motion graphic imagery style has really improved. I'm on the 3rd book and movie for the Adventures of Sam and Duke and I'm so happy with my career and path that I'm on. I've been filming other people's projects and I'm especially grateful for the opportunities that I've had recently. I'm so grateful for all the people I've worked with, who helped mentor and inspire me along the way. ( -:
